A6

Various changes to the road network around M1 junctions 24 and 24A to provide additional capacity to support the East Midlands Gateway project, a 700-acre logistics development. The new development will include a dedicated rail terminal and are located immediately adjacent to East Midlands Airport, and will have direct access to the trunk road network with a new junction on the A453.

The two main road works will be improvements to M1 junction 24A and the construction of a new A6 Kegworth Bypass.

A new road connecting the A6 near Thulston, just outside Derby, to the A52/A5111 junction north of Alvaston, preventing A6 traffic from having to travel through the suburb of Alvaston. The road is unlikely to carry the A6 designation.
